S V Prasanth Naidu 's Review On ISB Hyderabad Indian School Of Business, Hyderabad

I gave the GMAT entrance exam and I got a score of 720. I was working in ITC at the time and i had 5 years work ex. I wanted to enter a B School that was world renowned and tailored for professionals with work.

The course curriculum was very extensive and extremely implementable in the real life business scenario. The first four terms were compulsory courses and the last four were electives. I learnt a lot through both the set of course contents across the 8 terms. Some of the really insightful electives were- Negotiation Analysis (NEGA), Marketing Strategy (MARKSTRAT) and some others.

Given that this is a one year course. ISB does not provide any internship opportunities. However there is something called the ELP or the experiential learning program in which students can take up case studies that have been given to the school by different corporate organisations and solve them.

There were 750 students who were placed during my year which included the Mohali as well as the Hyderabad campus. Some of the companies that came to campus are Aditya Birla Group - 26 Lacs , Mckinsey - 22 Lacs , BCG - 23 Lacs , Parthenon - 35 Lacs , Deloitte - 20 lacs , EnY - 16 lacs PWC - 18 Lacs , Amazon - 20 - 40 Lacs, Flipkart - 20 - 30 Lacs.

The fee is for 26 Lac. Tuition - 24 Lac . This includes all the course material and other content that is absolutely necessary for the student to take up the course . Stay - 1 Lac / 2 Lac - This depends on the type of accomodation that the student chooses. While a 4 sharing is available there is also a studio option available for students who are married .

I had availed of a loan from the Union Bank Of India. I got an interest percentage of 10.25%. I would recommend this to other students as well . i did not receive any scholarship.

The campus life was amazing. There was a healthy gender ratio and there was a lot of enthusiasm there . Many of the students there were used to the rigmarole of work life and this year was a good opportunity for them to take a break from the mundane life and learn as well as interact with a diverse set of people with whom they might have otherwise not interacted.

The alumni network is quite strong and they are very helpful . I have myself helped a lot of the new batch students with resume reviews and analysis of their applications and I have amply received this help from my seniors as well.

It was quite a hectic course and there was very little chilling out especially during the first four terms. The terms latest only 1.5 months so we had tests every week across all subjects. The course structure also necessitated that we do a lot of class participation which was only possible if we read the course material before the next class .
